Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Cristiano Ronaldo EXIT talks, De Jong BLOW, Varane future captain

Good morning Man Utd fans

Manchester United beat Leeds 4-2 in a Premier League encounter at Elland Road.

Under-fire United skipper Harry Maguire opened the scoring on 34 minutes and Bruno Fernandes doubled the visitors’ lead in the fifth minute of stoppage time before half-time.

But the Red Devils lost their lead in just 60 seconds when Rodrigo found the net on 53 minutes and Raphinha equalised.

But United regained the lead with Fred in the 70th minute before Anthony Elanga sealed the win two minutes before full-time.

Meanwhile, United will NOT stand in Cristiano Ronaldo’s way if he demands an exit in the summer.

The Red Devils are facing a huge battle to even reach the Champions League during another disappointing campaign.

Ronaldo has made his frustrations known over the Manchester giants’ inability to fight for the Premier League title.

And according to the Mirror, United will not stand in the five time Ballon d’Or winner’s way if he opts to leave Old Trafford this summer.

The 37-year-old would still have one-year left on his contract but would still be let go.

And United’s pursuit of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has been handed a blow as the midfielder revealed his intentions to stay at the Nou Camp for ‘many more years’.

De Jong told The Guardian: “I’m very happy I’m at Barcelona: from a young age I’ve wanted to be here, so in that way it has been a dream come true.

“But I would have liked to win more trophies than we did in my first two years. I expected more in that sense, let’s put it that way.

“But other than that, I’m very happy here and hopefully [I will be here] for many more years.”

Finally, United legend Roy Keane snubbed a return to management with old team Sunderland because of the length of the contract.

SunSport understand the Black Cats would only guarantee Keane a position for the season.

The legendary United captain would have needed to shelve his lucrative TV deal to risk it all on gaining League One promotion.

The Irishman was not concerned about the drop in salary but there was no chance for him to plan ahead with the initial suggestion of a short-term stay
